This place was a great find! We had never been to this part of Florida before and we couldnt believe how beautiful it was! Our son got married in Greyton Beach and this was perfect for the occasion! The price was excellent and the photos dont do this place justice! Not to mention we were right in between Seaside and Rosemary!! It was so peaceful and cozy we will definately be back next summer!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

My husband and I loved staying at "Blue Heaven"!!! It was very accommodating and decorated so nice. It was very clean and comfortable. It is perfect for one or two couples or a couple with a child (or two).... or even a girl's retreat. It overlooks Eastern Lake, and is a short drive to the beach. The pictures actually do not do it justice, as it is just so much more cute than what they show. We appreciated the attention to detail. Everything was thought of in advance for the renters. Also, the owner, Jan, is so awesome to work with as she is so nice, answered all our questions right away, and was available for us. Thanks so much for sharing "Blue Heaven" with us!Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, girls getaway.

I have been coming to Seagrove Beach/Seaside/Grayton Beach yearly since 1995. And this property is my favorite so far!! We brought some bikes and rented some just across the lake (short little walk). After riding and playing at the beach, it was so refreshing to go jump into the lake after! Only a 3 mile bike ride into Seaside, and it's so much more convenient than taking the car. The neighbors are lovely and have a sweet dog who loves to fetch and swim! The beach access is just a short bike ride and there are bike racks there. We kayaked and paddle boarded nearly daily. The cottage is well furnished and quaintly decorated. One bathroom really wasni't an issue for us. We cooked in nearly each day we stayed, and the deck was a beautiful and calm place to spend the mornings and evenings with coffee and a good book. Jan and Bill were very informative, with precise emails prior to the stay. I loved this place and hope to visit again this winter!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

This property is absolutely adorable. I stayed here with my mother, sister, and niece. The furnishings and decorations are gorgeous. The large deck overlooking the lake was perfect for reading and hanging out. We used the grill and cooked at home for all of our dinners. We went to the beach (very nice public access about a mile up 30A), shopped, and drove to Destin for more tourist-y attractions. The shops and restaurants in Seaside are close by and outstanding. The cottage is very clean, beautiful, and the owners are supremely nice and even helped us find a local mechanic to fix our car window. This is perfect for small families and girl's vacations. The one bathroom is a very nice size and we did not have any problems sharing. :) My niece is already talking about our next trip to Blue Heaven. We hope to be regular renters! :) We did not rent a kayak this time, but is definitely on our to do list for next time. Also, renting a bike is a good idea. The main road can get very backed up and you have more freedom riding around town on a bike.Recommended for: Families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway.
Owner response: We're so glad you had a good time! Thank you for the great review and keep us in mind for your next trip!

Blue Heaven is the perfect place for a small family or couples getaway. The lake was very peaceful and relaxing - the spacious deck was great for morning coffee, reading, and relaxing. The cottage was very clean. The decor was fresh, bright and cheerful. We had everything we needed during our stay. Jan and Bill were great to work with. The location was ideal and close to our favorite shops and restaurants. We highly recommend this cottage and we will definitely be back!Recommended for: Families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for your gracious comments! We enjoyed having you stay at our Blue Heaven!

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2010
About the owner: We, like a lot of folks in this area, came on vacation, fell in love with the place, and started planning on how we could live here full time. In 2007 we moved down from West Tennessee and have loved it ever since.
Why the Owner Chose Eastern Lake:
BLUE HEAVEN is named after a restaurant in Key West. While vacationing in Key West we ate at the Blue Heaven restaurant. While enjoying a leisurely breakfast and watching the chickens wander the premises, it dawned on us that our little blue cottage on the lake is truly a Blue Heaven.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
The peaceful atmosphere, gentle breezes from the lake and natural vegetation are what drew us to this little cottage. It was a real 'fixer-upper' when we found it but we knew we could turn it into a unique place that would be enjoyable for us and others.
